The old fashioned way, with vignettes (good or bad)

Good

through vignettes, the "opportunity" storyline, a random run-in, being introduced by a superstar, as a plant and as a local guy who nearly beats the superstar.

LOL. What?

As for bringing back the CW Title...it's not gonna work. If WWE can't get the US/IC Title over as something worth winning they are not gonna be able to do it with a lightweight title.

The likes of Bourne should be contending for the US Title - and may well be given that Daniel Bryan is now holding the belt.

Besides, who would make up the division? Bourne, Gabriel. You'd have to relegate Kofi, Christian, Cody, Rey, etc to even start with a Cruiserweight Division.

In short: Awful idea.

I'd love to see the cruiserweight belt back. Good idea.

<font color=goldenrod>I wish Colin Delaney didn't already have a WWE run. Would be hilarious to see him on NXT getting his ass kicked every week with all his promos being how he hopes to stop getting beat up.</font>

This could be good if SmackDown! got some big name talent or something. But I hope they don't change the philosophy behind the show. I like SmackDown! featuring actual wrestling.

NO big name talent. No Cena on Fridays dominating everyone. Leave Smackdown the way it is.

Odds are this:

Looks like Carlito is back in his old gear. Back on the old gear aswell.

:rofl: @ using the Raw theme as his entrance music.

They wont, once the current rosters retire vince will just rerun old raws on a loop. :shifty:

Which is why SmackDown! is better. At least Michael Hayes know how to book properly.

:yes:

Adam Evans is what is going to make them step up there game when they move to Smackdown.

He'll be back.

I don't see why not. Especially if they want to build to Cena vs. Orton at WrestleMania. Cena, John Morrison, Justin Gabriel, Evan Bourne, Goldust, William Regal, Gail Kim and Primo are the names I would move from RAW to SmackDown!.

Damien Rey has been spot-on in here, and XL most recently, too. My problem with the CW Division was always this -- being Cruiserweight Champion should mean you are the best cruiserweight in the world, yes? Yet, at one point, you had Rey Mysterio as World Heavyweight Champion and Gregory Helms as Cruiserweight Champion. Who is top dog then? Instead of letting these guys feud over it, they just had Rey beat Helms in a random non-title match, and that was it.

The WWE are always going to have some smaller workers who are beyond being seen as "cruiserweights." Depending on where you set the weight limit, Chris Jericho, Christian, Kofi Kingston, CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, Justin Gabriel, John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler could all be considered "cruiserweights." Do they get snapped up into the division? Why? Why not?

A perfectly booked Cruiserweight Championship in the WWE could be fun, at best. It's much more likely it will keep certain stars down, rather than help them up, though. If there is no connection between a guy like CM Punk and the Cruiserweight Title -- what good does it do a guy 222lbs to hold the belt? I wouldn't mind some sort of "Cruiserweight Cup" being held every year, in which every guy 230lbs or under gets to compete in a tournament, of sorts, and the winner receives a trophy.

If they built the Intercontinental Championship and/or U.S. titles back up instead of putting it on young guys who can't get over or letting it sit on guys for months on end while they pursue other angles you don't need the Cruiserweight Belt.

There was a time where the Intercontinental Championship was almost as coveted as the Heavyweight belt. Shawn, Bret, Perfect, Diesel, Razor, Rock, Jericho, HHH.... all held that belt. They could build on that, restore it's glory and give that to the little guys who aren't plausible main eventers due to size/politics, but are still talented and entertaining.

I think Daniel Bryan could be the guy who does that with the US Title. The WWE has a hard-on for him, this much is certain. He was victorious in the main event of WrestleMania, got a win over The Miz (which is harder to get these days than you'd think), and beat Edge most recently on RAW (albeit with the decision reversed). I think Bryan will get a decent reign with the US Title, as I can't really see anyone who could take it off him right now. Maybe Morrison, if they decided to turn him heel. A member of Nexus, if they disband, maybe. But I think Bryan could be a fighting champion who gets to go over even higher level guys -- which would be tremendous for the belt.

Dolph Ziggler is being given a bit of a Honky Tonk reign on SmackDown! -- but when it comes down to it, he can beat guys cleanly. We've seen him topple The Great Khali, Kane and R-Truth with his Sleeper Hold. The IC Title is always booked with a little bit more integrity under Michael Hayes than it is used to, though.

Yes. The US title has taken a back seat for the most part, but the IC belt has been getting a good build for over a year. Started with Jericho and Rey, then Morrison had it and ran through Ziggler before dropping it McIntyre, who made Kolfi chase him forever, and Kolfi is now chasing Ziggler.

The fact that they've got established and young guys passionately vying over the title is making it seem like a legit big deal. I love Hayes just for the respect he shows for a once coveted title.

I thought someone said that was a fan made poster.

Unfortunately it is just that.

Did you mean SummerSlam? Bryan never competed at wrestlemania...yet.

too bad because that is bad ass.

Triple H has lost some weight.

Remember how shitty that division was back when they had it in the WWF? what would be any different this time around?

That's the problem though. It went from Hardy (eventual main eventer/ Heavyweight Champion) to Jericho (main eventer/ heavyweight champion) to Kofi (dude was hot and proving himself to be a star) to Santino (possible mistake) to Regal (great worker great on the mic) to C.M. Punk (main eventer/ Heavyweight Champion) to JBL (main eventer/ Heavyweight Champion) to Rey(main eventer/ Heavyweight Champion) to Jericho to Morrison (upper midcard on the cusp of permanent main event status) to McIntyre (doesn't belong in this list), Kofi, and Dolph (doesn't belong in this list). I feel like the I.C. belt should be given to the upper midcard guys who are either on the cusp of main event status or could main event if given the chance and not to generic looking guys like Ziggler and McIntyre who need the belt to get their gimmick over.

If you want to give the rookies and guys Vince has a hard on for something to play with, use the U.S. belt for that.

lol yeah.

As seen last night on SmackDown, World Heavyweight Champion Kane issued a challenge to The Undertaker and a casket was subsequently brought to the ring. Kane opened the casket, revealing Paul Bearer with a mystical urn. Undertaker emerged from a brief darkness, assaulting Kane, thus reforming the alliance between him and Bearer.

Regarding the return of the Bearer character to World Wrestling Entertainment, William Moody said today on his official website that he was first asked about returning to the organization four months ago. He agreed to terms with WWE and his contract became effective on August 1. His return was kept a secret as he was hidden backstage at Tuesday's television tapings in Bloomington, Illinois, so wrestlers didn't know he was there until he appeared during the show closing angle.

Moody also noted a clause in his contract which allows him to continue working independent dates as long as they don't interfere with his WWE commitments.

Here is his post in its entirety:

Where do I begin my friends? I guess we should go with the "Reader's Digest" version, since those of you that visit here often know I can ramble on and on. Let's just cut to the chase. About four months ago I recieved a call from the WWE creative folks asking if I had any interest in returning to the company. Of course this totally caught me off guard.

Just to step back for a moment, many are aware that my wife passed away from three battles with cancer, on January 31, 2009; and my life took some major turns following that tragic life changing event. We were married 30-years.

Since my departure from WWE at the GREAT AMERICAN BASH on June 24, 2004, I had virtually divorced myself from professional wrestling completely and returned fulltime to Funeral Service, which some may not realize that I have a degree in Mortuary Science and I am a legit licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer. I managed a small Funeral Home and Crematory here on the Gulf Coast.

In the early Spring of 2010, I decided to test the pro wrestling waters again, and began doing some independent events, autograph signings, etc., around the country to see if the passion was still there for me. Of course it was, and it will always will be. I discovered that doing these events took me away from the loneliness I was experiencing without my wife, Dianna. I was actually having fun again; and these days if it's not fun, you can leave me out of it.

During the six-years I had been away from WWE it would be a major understatement to say that many things had changed since I signed my first contract there on December 22, 1990. We started negotiations for my return. I still had many doubts if this was what I really wanted to do. Through much prayer, and conversations with my immediate family and close friends, I decided that if all the pieces of the puzzle fell into place, that this was meant to be.

I had to fly to Pittsburgh, PA and go through major physical and mental examinations; which to my dismay, all the results came back positive. My final question to myself was... "What would my late wife Dianna want me to do?". That answer was the easiest of all... she would say, "Get your ass back on the road!". So....

...here I am. My contract actually became effective on August 1st, and sworn to secrecy, it was extremely hard to keep so many of my contacts from knowing what the future was going to hold in store for me.

Many have asked for the details of my contract, such as it's length, even monetary details, and the like. Sorry you won't get that confidential information from me. I will say that a clause in my contract allows for me to continue working independent events, if I desire, and as long as they don't interfere with my WWE commitments. The bottomline is that I consider myself very lucky, at the tender age of 56, to get another chance at the top of our game. I am truly blessed.

My SMACKDOWN re-debut to the company was set to be taped this past Tuesday evening, in Bloomington, IL. Getting there, staying at a discreet hotel, sneeking into the venue, and hiding out in the dressing area until my time in the event came, is a story onto itself. Most of the wrestlers on the card that night didn't even know I was there.

A new era has begun in my life. And I have you the fans who made the Percy Pringle / Paul Bearer characters to thank. Notwithstanding, those within WORLD WRESTLING ENTERTAINMENT who continue to have confidence in my old school abilities. It doesn't matter if it lasts a week, a month, or five more years. It's all good.

As always, I do my best to remain accessable to you folks; and I do read and answer all of my email on a timely basis. Unfortunately, you may not get the answers from me that that you may desire. I just tell it like it is with no apologies.

WWE Diva Attacked By A Giant Squid?, & More
By Ryan Clark on Sunday, September 26th, 2010 at 4:55 PM EST


– WWE Diva Eve Torres wrote last night on Twitter that she was attacked by a giant squid. She enclosed a gruesome photo of her back, which is littered with red marks.
To view the photo:


He then says:


I would like to "Cup" her tits.

Cupping is used in BDSM.

Hot, she's kinky.

The only thing that came to my mind when you mentioned "cupping" and "BDSM" was this:



Seriously, we need BARF tags.

wtf why would you post that?

That's pretty hot tbh.

I gave ample warnings, don't blame me.

gross

True, which is why I wanted to know if that's what Xero meant by his post.

It actually wasn't. They do do that, but also all over the body, as demonstrated with Eve's bruises.

How the fuck are those bruises on Eve supposed to be erotic? That reeks of sadomasochism. Oh wait, you mentioned BDSM...

Exactly.

Animated Gif time:


Ok, I'm done.

I see Hernandez made time for a boob grab there.

Should have kicked it instead

Natch.

Thank God he didn't headbutt it.

Must have felt like a huge idiot.
